Kody Chan: the Time Vortex

About the Book

Kody Chan is like any other primary school student in Singapore until a family outing to Fort Siloso on Sentosa Island changes everything. Caught in a time vortex, Kody is transported to 1941! He meets Lieutenant General Arthur E. Percival, the war heroine Elizabeth Choy, and her husband Choy Khun Heng. Kody finds out from the mysterious messenger that he has an important mission to accomplish. Then Kody encounters Diablo and his daimons, who are out to ensnare and even to kill him. This is the first of a trilogy of Kody’s adventures to discover about himself, Singapore then as a British colony, and his heroic struggle against evil.
